Daily Rituals to Save Energy in Your Pine Mountain, GA Home

Enjoying a fresh cup of coffee, brushing your teeth and walking the dog are all daily morning rituals that most homeowners in Pine Mountain, Georgia, partake in. Unfortunately for their utility bills, some energy-saving practices haven’t become as habitual. Here are four tasks you can complete every day to help you save more money.

S is for Set Your Thermostat Wisely

Getting accustomed to a warmer indoor temperature takes time, but it can put a lot of money back in your pockets. The closer the thermostat’s setting is to the temperature outside, the less your air conditioner will have work. During the summer, the ideal setting is 78 degrees Fahrenheit when you’re at home. For every degree higher, you can save up to 8 percent on your monthly energy bill. In the winter, your thermostat’s temperature reading shouldn’t exceed 68 degrees.

A is for Always Unplug Your Chargers

It’s likely that you charge your smartphone daily, and that you never unplug the charger after your smartphone’s battery is full. Form the habit of unplugging your charger after every time you use it. Once it’s become a daily ritual, apply that same practice to appliances around your home that you use on occasion to save even more.

V is for Verify That Your Lights are Off

If you haven’t already, replace all of your home’s light bulbs to either Light Emitting Diodes or Compact Fluorescent Lights. You’ve probably heard it a hundred times, but remember to also turn the lights off when exiting a room.

E is for Enjoy Your Ceiling Fans

Although a ceiling fan isn’t of much use if you aren’t in the room it’s located in – think of it as a light and turn it off when exiting the room – it can make it feel 4 degrees cooler if it’s set correctly, which can allow you to set your thermostat to a higher setting. In the summer, the ceiling fans should rotate in a counterclockwise direction.

Airforce Heating and Air is awesome. Our outside unit went out and we contacted them. Danny was our sales rep and was awesome as well. He offered us no less than 4 options for our outside unit. No pressure. No sales pitch. The crew that came out to install the unit was professional, polite, and cleaned up after themselves. Highly, highly recommend these guys!!

We have been more than pleased with service from Airforce. Had to make a service call on weekend and Ryan was at our home within an hour He was very professional , explained our problem to us. Did not leave until our unit was operating properly.

Charles was on time, very friendly, very knowledgeable and made the whole experience top notch. Customer service and quality workmanship from first call all the way until he left (and we had blissfully cold AC!) I would 100% recommend and will for sure use Air Force again next time!!

I appreciate the service I was provided and I felt happy with dealing with this company because of their professional customer service. I was explained things and told about things I had no knowledge of which was great because others I've dealt with in the past only spoke among each other and I had to ask questions and was only told what they wanted to tell me. Airforce goal was to please and I am certain about it because they made sure I was satisfied. I highly recommend them to anyone with problems concerning their heating & air. 5 stars and a big thanks from me ?

Highly recommend!! I am amazed at how Airforce Heating and Air goes above and beyond! Great service, very professional, honest, courteous, polite and very qualified team. It is nice when you can find a company with genuine good and reliable friendly service. Danny was great to deal with as well as Brandon... Excellent help from the beginning! Technicians Luke & David were fantastic! very professional and knowledgeable. Thanks so much for a job well done!

2018 starts with us being very comfortable in our home thanks to the superior SERVICE provided to us in the heat of 2017. When the unit we had died they did everything they could to make us comfortable with patchwork fixes until a new unit could be installed. We took the recommendation of the owner (Dan Blaylock) and installed a great heat pump with the highest SEER rating available... had the gas furnace eliminated and extensive duct work done to provide better air flow... a major effort. They were top drawer professionals who worked to create the perfect experience for us... it was a total TEAM effort. Now months later we find ourselves regularly saying how pleased we are because the unit is virtually silent and our temperature in the house seldom varies by 1 degree... while our energy cost has gone down markedly. Sherrie is always fabulous about accommodating our schedules for the maintenance visits and the folks who come are exceptional. We are not new clients... but we are AIRFORCE clients forever!

I had to have one of my units replaced. From initial service to installation, Air Force Heating and Air has been spectacular. Jay, Luke, Travis, and Pay did a wonderful job during the installation! Always courteous and polite. I can't thank them and everyone at Airforce enough. Super job!

Luke and pay were my installers and I must say they were extremely professional, proficient and along with Brandon ensured my new a.c. was just right before they left. Danny was great to deal with as well. I highly recommend this buisness.

My air conditioner was leaking or had moisture on the outside of the pipes. The pipe that took the moisture out of the air didn’t slope enough to deliver the moisture out of the house. The two young men worked an hour in the attic heat fixing the pipes so the moisture would drain properly out of the house. They were nice, polite and very knowledgeable about my problem and not only fixed the problem but probably saved me a lot of expense in the future . Air Force rocks!

A gigantic thank you to the guys who installed our new system on June 30, 2017! They literally worked almost 10 hours and in rain sometime to get our system installed and running. They would not leave us until we had air in our hot house. They even came back last week to make some adjustments with our new system. After some extra planning to get the best out of our new system, they finished a task today. These guys have the best positive attitude and are extremely courteous. Nothing but praise for these guys!! God bless!

A big thanks to the guys that installed new system at Troup County Fire today. Very professional and they worked their butts off to get the install finished today. It was 92 degrees inside but it is nice and cool now. We are some happy firemen for sure.

We couldn't be happier with the service we've received from AirForce. They've been out twice for regular service/maintenance. Our technician, John, wore shoe protectors every time he came into the house; was very courteous and professional. He did a very thorough check of our system.

I was not too happy with the service i experience when the technician was out at my house and when he gave me a price and I said sorry can't afford that he got frustrated cause he saw his commission going out the window and I asked him please put the system back like it was. I mean granted it would run though his over all customer service was totally not customer friendly. After he put the system back like he had it he then got in his vehicle and left not notifying me that ma'am you can turn your system back on and it being in July and hot and a baby in the house. I had to see how you treat elderly people during the heat and totally not happy with how you handled the situation.

Called this morning for a service check, thought somethin' might be wrong with my heating system. Austin came out this afternoon...thankfully everything checked out ok!! Austin answered all of my questions (even the ones that were kinda silly!), was VERY professional, very thorough & did a GREAT job!!! THANK YOU AUSTIN!!! And Thank You AIRFORCE!!! I will continue my maintenance agreement with ya'll!!!

We called them friday afternoon to request a quote on adding supply and return ducting to an addition. They had a technician come out the same day at 6:30pm which was extremely convenient for our family. The tech was extremely well mannered and made several different suggestions to accommodate our needs. We talked to the tech over the weekend and asked that they come out monday and they were here at 8:45 monday morning ready to work. They did a professional job and we are extremely pleased. I am hard to please when it comes to construction as I am a perfectionist. The thing that I respect the most is they cleaned up after themselves.
This was the first time using airforce, and we will not be using any one else. We are currently in the process of changing our service plan to airforce.
